OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing wheel guard (Fig.1&2)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged
before installing or removing the wheel guard.
Mount the wheel guard with the tab on the wheel guard band
aligned with the notch on the bearing box. Then rotate the
wheel guard 180° clockwise (for 9560Z and 9563Z) or Coun-
terclockwise (for 9561Z, 9562Z, 9564Z and 9565Z).
Be sure to tighten the screw securely.
Installing side grip (auxiliary handle) (Fig. 3)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged
before installing or removing the side grip.
Always install the side grip on the tool securely before
operation. The side grip can be installed on either side of the
tool, whichever is convenient and keeps the guard properly
positioned. Always hold the tool’s switch handle and the side
grip firmly with both hands during operation.
Shaft lock (Fig. 4)
Press the shaft lock to prevent spindle rotation when installing
or removing accessories.
CAUTION:
Never actuate the shaft lock when the spindle is moving. The
tool may be damaged.
Installing or removing depressed center
wheel (Optional Accessories) (Fig.5&6)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged
before installing or removing the wheel.
Mount the inner flange onto the spindle. Fit the wheel on over
the inner flange and screw the lock nut onto the spindle.
To tighten the lock nut, press the shaft lock firmly so that the
spindle cannot revolve, then use the lock nut wrench and
securely tighten clockwise.
To remove the wheel, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
Switch action (Fig. 7)
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the
switch actuates properly and returns to the ‘‘OFF’’ position
when the side of the switch lever is depressed.
To start the tool, slide the switch lever toward the ‘‘I’’ position.
For continuous operation, press the front of the switch lever to
lock it.
To stop the tool, press the rear of the switch lever, then slide
it toward the ‘‘O’’ position.
Operation (Fig. 8)
CAUTION:
After operation, always switch off the tool and wait until the
wheel has come to a complete stop before putting the tool
down.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on and then
apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece.
In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an angle of
about 15° – 30° to the workpiece surface. During the break-in
period with a new wheel, do not work the tool in the B direction
or it will cut into the workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel
has been rounded off by use, the wheel may be worked in
both A and B directions.
WARNING:
•
It should never be necessary to force the tool. The weight of
the tool applies adequate pressure. Forcing and excessive
pressure could cause dangerous wheel breakage.
•
Continued use of a worn-out wheel may result in wheel
explosion and serious personal injury.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged
before carrying out any work on the tool.
Repair and maintenance (Fig. 7)
The tool and its opening vents for cooling air have to be
always kept clean. When the foreign matters clog such parts,
they have to be taken off.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, mainte-
nance or adjustment should be carried out by a Makita
Authorized Service Center.
